Compute Rationing, again

Claude had three outages in ten days (June 2, 5 and 11), and Margin Lab put statistics behind the May "Claude got dumber" wave: Claude Code's daily SWE-Bench-Pro pass rate dropped from a 65% baseline to 57% starting May 22, recovering exactly when Opus 4.8 shipped.

Developers joked that "half of GitHub's commits stopped" during the June 5 outage. They were not entirely joking.
